Winter projects?

Buff / Polish a bar made out of a DC-3 engine cowling, work on my tan, plant some more Birds of Paradise in the courtyard.....Oh you mean car related projects because its cold and grey in Salt Lake??? (sorry, couldnt resist.)

Im gonna track down a newly discovered valve cover leak and finish detailing the underside of the engine. Other than that....the TR is good to go at the moment. The Cosworth needs a new lap timer and hood pad. Ill probably get around to making a new hood pad out of fireproof blanket for the TR over the 'winter'.

 

I have two. My driver side window in my last ride didn't want to go full up by about 3/8 of an inch. So I have to take the door panel off and see what is happening. Also have a leak a think from the left side diff cover(even if I took very good care when I did it).

And of course a very good cleaning detailing of engine bay.

 

There were threads on these door / windows here a year ago ... good luck !

 

Joe, I did not want to hear that
Its about 3C here and slushy wet cold.

Black is easy to match. Prep, Prep, Prep.

 

I sent a sample of the original leather to a leather dye manufacturer here in the UK and they supplied the EXACT colours for my black and creama leather Testa.

Where do I start?
Subaru race car-because we are using speed density, I don't need the MAF any more and we will be installing a GM IAT probe in the intercooler piping just prior to the throttle body. Weld in aluminum bung, then splice the new IAT into the factory harness. Install new Eboost2 electronic boost controller and tie into the canbus harness in the stand alone Haltec ECU. Eliminate factory fuel system and older fuel rails, install new surge tank and run all new stainless fuel lines and new series design fuel rails, plus 1000cc injectors. Build new rear diffuser, I need more rear downforce. Then get all this to the track for testing before the season starts end of March.
I still have the clutch to install in the TR. Plus a few other small things I know of, front hood shocks, fluid changes, etc.
Install new exhaust on the 996 TT, and get the ECU reflashed. It also needs new front hood shocks!
Sell my 2006 Subaru Legacy GT (really nice car) since my new 2015 STi arrived on Friday.
Change the track brake setup back to the street brakes on the ZO6 (went to the track last Saturday). ZO6 in a light rain all day is an exercise in car control-LOL!
Lose 6 days going to PA. for Christmas.
Have fun for 6 days going to the Daytona 24 end of January.
Run my business and try and keep the wife happy

 

Yes, I believe in self-flagellation!

 

No punch list on the TR...it is perfect .....My winter list is searching for a 70-72 LT-1 Corvette Coupe, sorry I have the need for an American built piece of junk

 

If my winter list was for my american Junk(corvette) I'd need two winters.

 

Here, trying to gather enough guts to tackle the GCK...what's wrong with me! Geez!

 

For the 88 TR: replace RH rear wheel bearings (preventative--LH went bad this year, already replaced). Repack front bearings (preventative). Remove dash & remove alarm wiring, extra audio wiring, etc. Reinstall dash. Recover instrument cluster housing leather (shrinking--stitching pulling apart).

For the 69 Z-28: install restored brake & suspension parts, new brake lines and get it back on the road.

 

You can do it Francois. I hope I'll have time and try to think about doing pictures to show how.

 

I have own one, my freind just sold his to buy the LM002 and I have another friend of mine who own a nice low kilometers 1983 group5. We all agree to say they are nice cars. But 3 of us also agree they are cheap cars. They are in no way near a Ferrari. Monocoque body flexes a lot. They give a very fun drive for a short run. Engine is peppy and has torque.

Try to drive one before you buy. And if you're looking for a low kilometers(15,000) 83 group5 Black on black my friend would sell his. It also has the wing.

I forgot to mention I've been a Pantera fanatic since my childhood and always wanted to have one. I had it and I'm ok now. If you buy one buy a nice rustfree exemple. They rust a lot.

 

I owned one for an hour, I bought it too cheap and had a chance to double my money the same day, just call me-
